You can top it up with a little distilled water or Honda pre-mix coolant.

But first, has it been going down, or did you just notice it.

Many cars sit fine at the minimum level cold.

Yeah mine sits at min level cold as well, but then again that's how I bought it at the dealership 6 months ago. And it hasn't changed.

I'll probably buy a gallon as well just to have around but no rush seeing as my pilot is so reliable I won't have to worry about the coolant level going down
